Reminds me alot of the Thor...

 

It probably does something dumb like only target ground units.

 

Eh, still, I don't like the name Thor for it. I do however agree that Titan is a generic name like Pheonix and such. If they wanted to make the Norse reference though, I would've preferred something like Odin or Mjolnir, hell even Ragnarok i think fits it better than Thor.

 

Every cool name that could be used has been used. So, griping about a name being overused in other games is just silly.

Also, I don't like the idea of it having 2 modes because if you give 2 modes to too many units then it just becomes gimmicky

 

well so far it's only been 2: siege tank (siege and regular) and thor (air and ground)

 

Don't forget Viking. Although I like Viking more than Thor anyway.

 

wait am i comfused or are you? i never heard anything bout thor turning into air and ground i thought viking did that.

 

Thats the trademark of terran imo.

Adapting properly and planning ahead. I like that more, the only race that has 2 mode units(xept for lurker i guess)

 

They are described to be weak against hit-and-run by fast moving lesser units.  They are said to be extremely slow.

 

^where did you hear that? it makes sense but no one else has said that.

edit- lol i missed the new stuff on the home page, nvm.

 

its like the dreadnought in warhammer.. slow (movement and rotation) as hell but so damn powerful and sooo badass ^_^

 

Always new info here ;D.
Thor looks pretty armored etc.

EDIT: Maybe he could be dropped quite effectively? Unless he can't be picked up due to being made by the SCV's?

 

lol the thor probably counts as a mobile building since its so huge and is built by SCVs. dropships are out of the question for the thor lol

 

just imagine if thor fits in dropships and assult enemy's mineral lines...

 

probably wont even get thors much. Siege tank/viking combo will do the job.

 

rofl
id get like...20 thors rofl undefeatable?

but are thors only ground attack or both air and ground?

 

paragon, how dare you question the awesomeness of Thor. You call yourself a terran player? For shame!

 

I'd have the immigrants who want to live in this country enlist for the Iraq war in order to gain citizenship. That way, the immigrants are earning their place, our troops come home, and Iraq won't be abruptly abandoned.

I'd also spend about 25% of the US budget on developing personal pilotable Goliaths for domestic use. I'd like to go to the groceries in one of those things.

Which is probably why I'm not the President.

 

I will gladly get vikings, siege tanks, ghosts, and marines. but a big slow moving unit is not my style. And so what if it has a nice siege attack for taking down buildings. So does the siege tank.

 

They call it turtlin' among decent players ;D
